We’re all pretty used to rain. We’re either prepared for it with an umbrella or raincoat or just get wet. Rarely does it genuinely upset us. But what about when it rains for days, and the streets flood, so you can’t go outside? Or when you realize you can’t afford the interest rate on that home you want to purchase? How do you react when your investments plummet in value? Or you’re laid off without severance? These are genuine modern problems that plague us at every turn. Problems that haunt our nights with nightmares and fill our days with despair. But it doesn’t have to be this way. We can learn to remain grounded despite all the problems plaguing our society today. This is how to become stoic in the modern world.

“People simply empty out. They are bodies with fearful and obedient minds. The color leaves the eye. The voice becomes ugly. And the body. The hair. The fingernails. The shoes. Everything does”. Does this sound familiar? A long day looking in front of the computer screen causes an aching feeling behind the eyes. Your legs turn to jelly after spending a long shift behind the cash register. Your skin becomes pale and grey with too much time under fluorescent warehouse lights. The 9-5 continues to diminish our morale and humanity. Why are we doomed to this unsustainable way of life? And who is Charles Bukowski.

If nothing matters and we’re all just specks of dust floating through space and time, what’s the point in trying at all? Building healthy relationships with friends and family doesn’t seem worth it because, in the end, everyone you know will die anyway. All attempts at self-improvement are futile because, in the Universe’s grand plan, none of it matters. Even if you’re not all doom and gloom, there’ll be days when getting out of bed will seem pointless. Where life itself will seem kind of pointless. And the current state of the world, with issues like the climate crisis, the rise in extreme politics, and economic instability, doesn’t help our psychological state.

The secret to financial freedom in today’s economic crisis isn’t found in some get-rich-quick scheme or through social media charlatans trying to sell you their latest courses. The truth is the most essential principles about building wealth can be learned from the 2000-year-old philosophy of Stoicism.

In October 2008, a paper titled ‘Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System’ was published, announcing the creation of one of the world’s first cryptocurrencies. This paper was written by Satoshi Nakamoto, the inventor of Bitcoin.

Nakamoto then created a message board called BitcoinTalk and wrote, “I’ve developed a new open-source P2P e-cash system called Bitcoin. It is completely decentralized, with no central server or trusted parties, because everything is based on cryptographic proof instead of trust. Give it a try.” Obviously, people did.

But who is Satoshi Nakamoto? The short answer is no one knows. There is at least one real person behind this alias because someone wrote the code for Bitcoin, published a paper about crypto, sent emails and made forum posts about the new digital currency. But beyond that, Nakamoto’s identity remains a mystery.
